GRANDMA MYRNA'S HONEY-WALNUT BRITTLE
After several failed attempts at making homemade brittle, I finally got some sense and called my Grandma Myrna! She gave me this recipe for brittle made in the microwave, and I had instant success! The best tips she gave were to 'work quickly, have everything pre-measured out, and for goodness' sake, don't burn yourself!'

Steps:
- Grease a large baking sheet with butter.
- Mix sugar and honey together in a large microwave-safe glass bowl; mixture will be very thick. Place in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute. Stir, and cook 1 minute more. Stir mixture again, and cook until mixture boils and sugar is dissolved, an additional 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
- Stir walnuts into the bowl with the sugar mixture. Heat in the microwave another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in butter, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Microwave until mixture is caramel in color, an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Carefully remove bowl from microwave, and quickly stir in baking soda until incorporated. Immediately pour mixture onto the buttered cookie sheet. Allow to cool until brittle is set, about 15 minutes. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

BLACK WALNUT MICROWAVE NUT BRITTLE
This recipe is made in the microwave in 10 minutes, but I chose to use the all time SOUTHERN FAVORITE Black Walnuts because I didn't have enough Peanuts. You may use other nuts of choice. I also used Vanilla Bean Paste instead of Vanilla Extract. This brittle will be darker in color because of the Black Walnuts, but the taste...

Steps:
- 1. These are most of the main ingredients for this recipe. This recipe requires working quickly to prevent the candy from hardening.
- 2. Butter liberally a shallow baking pan, and set aside till needed. Measure out walnuts or other nuts of choice, & set aside so they can be added quickly when needed.
- 3. Spray measuring cup with non stick cooking spray before measuring out corn syrup. It helps to release the syrup more easily. Mix the sugar and corn syrup in a 2 quart microwaveable bowl or dish, and stir to blend before placing in microwave, to cook for 4 minutes
- 4. Then remove from microwave, add nuts, and stir quickly and return to microwave, and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
- 5. Next add in the butter and vanilla Bean paste or extract, stir, and return to microwave for an additional 2 minutes.
- 6. Then remove from microwave and add the baking soda, stir quickly as mixture is bubbling. I prefer using a wooden spoon when I make this.
- 7. Pour candy brittle onto prepared sheet pan, and allow to harden and cool. When cool enough to handle, break into small bite size pieces. I do not recommend doubling recipe. It is best to make one batch at a time.
- 8. Note: BLACK WALNUT BRITTLE WILL BE A LOT DARKER IN COLOR THAN REGULAR PEANUT BRITTLE. One of these is Black Walnut and the other is mostly Peanut Brittle with about a quarter cup walnuts added because I didn't have any more peanuts.
